Done and Dusted!

Well I've finished the third draft of my book and am feeling very pleased about it. Did I say pleased? I'm ecstatic! It's taken three years and a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get this far but I'm glad I did it. The next step is trying to sell it, which is no doubt going to be even harder than writing the darn thing. But I'm ready for the challenge (I think!) Anyway, here's to 2013 - the Year of Getting Published (or at least well on the way to it).

About Me

Born
and raised on a windswept Yorkshire moor, I spent much of my
childhood either reading about adventures or writing my own. 15 years ago, I took my first steps into writing commercially as a newspaper reporter and have worked in editorial roles ever since. For the last five years I've been cracking on with my fiction writing and last year completed my first novel, a middle-grade (9-12) fantasy fiction story. I'm now working on a new middle-grade fantasy adventure while sending out the first MS to agents. When not writing I love being with my family, getting active
outdoors and reading just about anything I can get my hands on.
